How to Convert calorie (IT)/gram to Btu (IT)/pound
1 calorie (IT)/gram [cal/g] = 1.8 Btu (IT)/pound [Btu/lb]
1 Btu (IT)/pound [Btu/lb] = 0.5555555556 calorie (IT)/gram [cal/g]
we use cross multiplication method
calorie (IT)/gram [cal/g] → Btu (IT)/pound [Btu/lb]
1 → 1.8
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.8=1*x
by simplifying
x=2.7
